Syrup of Ipecac are all poison Over 20 weigh in for Chubby challenge-— — - by Donna Behrend While others were feasting at lunch one day recently, a group of determined and hopeful “losers” met at the Warm Springs Community Center to d iscu ss the m ost recent “Chubby Checkers” weight loss contest. To qualify for the contest, each participant was required to pay $20. Participants were also presented with brief e x p la n a tio n s o f p r o p e r nutrition and physical exercise.’ Each perSon was weighed in by A ssista n t C om m unity Center Director Eva Montee with the weight being verified a n d r e c o r d e d by IH S nutritionist Karen Gordon. On October 14, one short month after the initial weigh-in, each participant will be weighed again. The person losing the most weight will win one-third of the pot. At the end of three months, on December 14, participants will once again weigh ih and the biggest loser will take one-third of the original pot. At the end of six months, on March 14, participants will again weigh and the person with the biggest weight loss will take the final third of the pot. In other words, lose big, win big, in more “weighs” than one. Newcomers to the contest were Welcome, but September 23 was the last day to enroll in this challenge. If enough are in te re ste d , said M o n tee, another challenge will be conducted later. Rules for the second contest will be the same. For most effective and long- lasting weight loss, it is recommended that a person lose no more than one to two pounds a week. Anymore than that can cause physical and/ or psychological complications. It was explained that one pound of body fat contains 3,500 calories and to lose one pound a week, a person must reduce their daily food intake by 500 calories. Not only must a person reduce their calorie intake to lose weight, but increased physical activitiy helps to condition the body. This “Dynamic D uo” (improved diet and increased exercise) is the preferred. way to lose Weight, said Montee. The Chubby Checkers weight loss challenge drew over 20 contestants. Here, Norma Smith is weighed by Eva Montee and Karen Gordon. Gordon and Montee gave several tips on weight loss. G ordon has a phamphlet available entitled “Nutrition and Your Health” that is very helpful to those interested not only reducing but improving their dietftoo. Also, Montee is currently conducting several exercise classes that provide all-around body conditioning. For more information, feel free to contact Gordon or Montee. F o r m any, m aintaining weight loss is very difficult. But through altering eating habits a n d in c re a s in g p h y sic a l activity, losing the weight and maintaining that loss is made easier. Not only does a person feel better but they look better, to o . T h e ir self-im age is improved. T h is c u rre n t “ C hubby C h e c k e r s ” w e ig h t lo s s challenge ap pears to be bringing many people together that have a common goal—that o f l o s i n g w e ig h t a n d maintaining it. And in about a month, the figures will be in, hopefully smaller.
